fun fact of no relevance whatsoever: Bill Paxton played Wyatt Earp's brother in Tombstone the year before Bill Pullman played Bat Masterson's brother in Wyatt Earp

Pullman's such a dullard, I don't know what he's really good for, aside from maybe being like the poor man's Michael Douglas, in the same way that Charlie Sheen used to be the poor man's Tom Cruise. (Except that Sheen was always BETTER than Cruise, even back in the days when Tom was the crazy one.)
Paxton, though - classic alone for the bits in Aliens when he goes all sissy. And for being dosed with angel dust while filming Titanic.

abbott just likes pullman because he lost his sense of smell in college after an injury left him in a coma for two days.

inexplicably, pullman is going to be in the new season of "torchwood" they're doing on starz. he's the villain, so that lowers the likelihood of him making out with john barrowman to say 30% or so.
I have seen While You were Sleeping. It's . . . not good.
aw i loved this movie back in the day, me and mom would watch it all the time. bill pullman's grandma was the suffragette mom from mary poppins!

in the movie, i mean. if it was in real life that might change my vote
From wikipedia:Paxton has the distinction of being one of only two actors, the other being Lance Henriksen, who has starred alongside an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator. He further holds a distinct honor of being the only actor to have been "killed" by all three, as each of his characters in these films meets his end during conflict with the lead antagonists.

Pullman was in Zero Effect, and Paxton wasn't. But I still got to give it to Paxton despite the high number of flaming turds in his cv.

Add The Last Seduction to that Pullman list.
He's been doing a lot of plays--would like to see how he does there.

watched "dead alive," which might be the only movie with pullman and paxton, with some chilx pals on saturday. pullman is definitely the star, but paxton has some substantial scenes, and it's kind of archetypical roles for both - pullman is nerdy and nervous, paxton is brash and swarmy. great movie if you haven't seen it, also has a creepy bud cort in a big role.
